I wonder how exactly religiously diverse New Hampshire really is. Are they counting like 15 different kinds of Protestantism?

They're counting all the people in Portsmouth who invented a new religion.

I'm so interested in understanding the causation here. It could be confirmation bias, if the majority of your friends and neighbors share your religion, you are in a bit of a reaffirmation bubble, and if they consider themselves "very religious" and attend church, you are more likely to try to fit in. Sort of related, does being exposed to a lot of different religions softens your religiosity? Or do people of "diverse" religions avoid living among Southern bigots... er, people with strongly held beliefs without much diversity. Maybe because godless heathens and those unenlightened "other religions" flock together? I'd also like to see this compared to education levels.

A Pew survey showed that the religious affiliations of the people of New Hampshire was as follows: Protestant 34%, Catholic 29%, LDS (Mormon) 1%, Jewish 1%, Jehovah's Witness 0.5%, Muslim 0.5%, Buddhist 1%, Hindu 0.5% and non-religious at 26%.

Compared to the rest of the states it is pretty diverse.

According to 2010 census data the most diverse regions are New England and the far west.

Well, I would have known that had I resided in a state as religiously diverse as New Hampshire I suppose. When I think of states representing the different religions and cultures that comprise our great American melting pot, one of the first that immediately springs to mind is "New Hampshire".

It looks like it really is measuring the religious diversity of respondents' social networks - not necessarily the diversity of the state. Assuming folks in New Hampshire know people in other states, then that diversity doesn't have to belong to New Hampshire.

It's almost impossible to figure out what's being measured here, but I think that's a secondary piece of data not reflected in the basic chart. I believe this is the site where religious diversity was tracked, and it's strictly a "what religion are you" answer.

And in New Hampshire, a couple of friends working together can skew the entire project.

Off the top of my head I wouldn't have through this was so infrequent. And it probably won't be as long as we have Thursday night games throughout the NFL season.

With nine NHL games, three NBA games, an NFL game and an MLB playoff game — made possible by the Chicago Cubs’ victory in Game 4 of the NLCS on Wednesday — Thursday is your (first) sports equinox of 2017.

What’s a sports equinox? As my former colleague Reuben Fischer-Baum wrote on a couple of occasions, it’s when all four major U.S. sports leagues — the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB — play at least one game on the same day. Historically speaking, it doesn’t happen often. There have only been 17 sports equinoxes in history, including Thursday:

The extension of the MLB playoffs is a factor too. Until at least the 90s I think it was impossible to have a MLB playoff game (even the World Series) before the NBA season started.

I specifically remember the two from 2001, as I was flipping channels furiously. Game 7 of the World Series was the same night some guy on the Jets grabbed Aaron Brooks' facemask and spun it around like the girl in the Exorcist, leading to Kyle Turley to rip that dude's helmet off and shot put it. I can remember that since it was also sweeps month in November back in the day, there was some good stuff on other channels, including a telemovie about the Warsaw ghetto uprising starring Hank Azaria on ABC I believe.
